RFK Jr., Who Said Environmental Chemicals Could Turn Children Gay, Will Help Trump “Pick People Who Will Run the Government”

Earlier this month, The Washington Post reportedAnd Robert F. Kennedy, son confirmedthat the then presidential candidate attempted to meet Kamala Harris, in hopes of negotiating a potential position in her administration in exchange for support. Unfortunately for Kennedy, Harris and her team were not interested, leaving the son and grandson of two of the most prominent Democrats in history—whose legacies he often invoked—faced with a choice: support Harris for the good of the country while receiving no personal benefit in return, or go all-in for a woman whose reelection could mean the end of democracy as we know it. And he chose the latter!

Less than a week after pausing his campaign and supporting Donald Trump for president, Kennedy declared in an interview with Tucker Carlson on Monday that he was “working with [Trump] campaign” and “has been asked to join the transition team and help choose the people who will run the government,” something he “very much looks forward to.”

Putting aside the decision to support Trump—which many Kennedy family members have accusedand at least one Kennedy sibling has call “a blatant attempt to burnish my father’s memory”—the idea of ​​RFK Jr. helping “choose the men who will run the government” is truly disturbing. To reiterate, Kennedy:

• To be an anti-vaxxer of the highest order
• Written an article in 2005 was published in Rolling Stone and Salon, called “Deadly Immunity,” in which he alleged that the government had covered up the link between vaccines and autism. (Both papers later retracted the article, and Salon’s editors worked on it. speak that after it was published, “we were besieged by scientists and advocates, pointing out how Kennedy had misunderstood, misquoted, and possibly even falsified the data…. It was the worst mistake of my career. Maybe I should have been fired.”)
• Written a transition for a book claiming COVID-19 vaccines cause sudden death in healthy young people that features a 12-year-old on the cover never vaccinated against COVID-19 and died of brain vascular malformation
• Already be blamed for stoking fears about vaccines before a measles outbreak in Samoa killed 83 people
• Once declared Anne Frank Had an Easier Life Than Anti-Vaccine Opposition People Have
• More than once propose Environmental chemicals may be turning children gay and transgender
• Following an allegation of sexual assault, speak“I am not a church boy”
• Recently acknowledged to stage an elaborate bear killing scene in Central Park
• Once, according to one of his daughters, sawing off the head of a dead whale and tied it to the roof of his car, forcing his children to wear plastic bags over their heads to avoid the “whale water” being “poured” out.[ing] into the window.”
• Said in a 2012 divorce deposition that a worm “enter my brain and eat part of it and die”

Probably not the person you want to choose to decide who will hold important positions in running the country.
